The Best Unconventional Engagement Rings
Badass brides only.


My friend John is the chicest person I know. Clad in Dior, and always perfectly manicured, I trust his style advice implicitly; from his ridiculously-small Jacqumeus bag to his stingray-finished coffee table, everything about him exudes style and understated opulence. He's rambled for years about his future Margiela engagement ring, and with its asymmetrical band and two half-moon diamonds, it's the kind of ring that could make anyone want to break away from the traditional rock. Unfortunately, the Margiela gem (opens in new tab) itself has been sold out for quite some time—a tragedy!—but more gorgeous, non-traditional engagement rings are available. For you, I went ahead and selected the very best.
Selim Mouzannar Mina Ring
Fashion girls are falling for all of Selim's pieces, and this ring is no exception.
Fred Leighton Gold and Sterling Silver Topaz Ring
At a whopping 4.6 carats, you, too, can channel your inner J.Lo.
Simon G. 18k Gold White Ring
This asymmetrical band is the perfect platform for showcasing these diamonds.
Suzanne Kalan White Gold Diamond Ring
The "organized chaos" of this ring is perfect for the modern ride. The 1.51 carats of round and baguette-cut diamonds don't hurt either.
Anita Ko Diamond Leaf Ring
Soft, feminine and subtle, the luminous rose gold makes this ring look like a second skin.
Messika My Twin Toi & Mo Ring
Get the best of both worlds with this teardrop and square engagement ring.
Doyle & Doyle Vintage Diamond Ring
